now is the sunset over mallard creek in north-central alabama(my roots). i have been to the baptists yesterday and have escaped with my heathenism intact, BUT i did have several times during the lengthy sundayschool and church service where  i seriously questioned my salvation. some people are so intent!! i know all the words, having learned them as a child; i know that i don't feel damned to eternal fire because i refuse a savior(sorry, mom and all my bama relatives); i sit and breathe and look at this sunset and feel connected to all this...and even to those hardshell baptists who asked us to pray that the georgia governor would make the right decision about those queers and those bathrooms and OUR CHILDREN ARE IN DANGER...from their narrow minded attitudes. listening to the blues. watching some huge fish work the water in the creek. i am sacred/you are sacred/we are sacred/we are one(thank you skeeter).
